Line Drive

Put your best pout forward with lustrous, shape-defining lip liner

Lipstick lovers, it's time to think beyond the tube. For long-lasting color and an infinitely more defined kisser, say hello to lip liner.

Shady Business

Find the foundation that's a perfect match for your skin

The right foundation will leave your skin looking polished and flawless. The wrong foundation will turn it cakey, masklike, streaky or greasy. If you want the former, you need to get two things right: color and texture.

Ombré Lips

This daring new mix of dark and light lipstick shades makes a definite statement

Ombré is everywhere! We first saw this trend of a dark hue gradually melting into a lighter shade on hair. Drew Barrymore, Jessica Biel and Sarah Jessica Parker were just a few of the celebrities to sport brunette roots and blond ends. Then ombré moved on to eyes and nails. The latest ombré outing: lips!

Fake Out

How to bat those beautifully faux eyelashes so no one is the wiser.

What girl doesn't love the idea of long, luxurious lashes that rise dramatically above her eyes, making her look like a Hollywood starlet from the 1940s? I certainly do. The reality is, most of us weren't born with glamazon lashes.

The Red Lip Experiment

Find the right red for you and you'll rock this glam look like a star

Drew Barrymore loves her signature red lip whether she's getting groceries or getting married. The gorgeous Christina Hendricks of Mad Men fame sets her red hair aflame with a fire-engine-red pout. And while Angelina Jolie's pucker would stand out in any shade, she knows the traffic-stopping power of a red lipstick.
